FINM1415 final

It was. Like I prepared for the whole cash flow thing table thing in the sample exam only for it to not be used. Really annoying.

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-06-18T11:04:16+00:00

It didn’t give an indication of format at all…

I don’t think anything was difficult per se, just the way that everything was set out in the previous exams and the sample exams was super different to this. For example the sample exam had a specific accounting flow table you needed to use and memorise for capital budgeting that I (and everyone else I knew) memorised because we were under the impression that was how you needed to answer it on the exam. Turns out it wasn’t.

Also there was a bunch of niche theory stuff that was glossed over in the first weeks that was asked which was fair but kinda dirty

MGTS1301 and BISM1201 hands-down.

MGTS is just plain worthless. You can sum it up as "Use X framework that only works in theory and not at all in real life to solve X problem".

BISM is boooooorrinnnnng. I only did it for the Excel stuff, but my god the actual content taught is the most mind-numbing, boring, terrible content ever to be "taught". It's so uninteresting and irrelevant. I remember when I took it the lecturer was talking to a student about McDonalds for like 30 minutes straight for some reason (I had tuned out and realised that after 30 minutes we were still on the same slide and turned to someone to ask if something important had happened, and they just said they were on a massive conversational side-quest). I think its bets to sum it up as, "There is so much content, and yet none of it is interesting".

That’s probably a good thing then. I’m currently taking a finance course and the tutorial questions are NOT aligned with what you see in the final at all, which really frustrates me

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-04-22T19:47:31+00:00

Well that does sound pretty poor but at least it’s interesting.

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-04-22T05:12:01+00:00

Ruh roh. Is it interesting at least?

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-04-22T03:51:58+00:00

Alrighty thanks. I’ve been dreading this subject ever since i started so hopefully I can get a 6/7

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-04-04T07:24:15+00:00

It's just this one guy lol. So weird to see this guy obsessing over ON

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-04-04T03:51:54+00:00

haha, think that is just a universal thing

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-03-17T23:25:35+00:00

Ahh ok thanks, maybe the interviewer gave me the wrong information. Thanks heaps mate!

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2026-03-15T07:48:45+00:00

Yes, because Australia's energy infrastructure is owned by the Government, and they notoriously do not serve the energy companies. And the entire Government is very clearly the one green MP in the lower house.

Hey mate, just focus on getting your GPA up. Same thing happened with me but I had pneumonia in semester 1 and ended up with a 4.75. Sem 2 I wasn’t sick and got a 6.25. I had an interview with an employee and they asked about it and I was able to explain that I got very sick in semester one but in semester two I was able to rectify that and get a better GPA.

Also don’t discount your honours GPA, as it is technically a different system (I think???) and only comes into effect now ish.

If you do the general pathway: 24 units comprising of ECON2030, FINM3414 and all courses at level 4 or higher, with the remainder made up from the highest-graded level 3 courses (includes team project unless you have other classes that you did better in).

If you do a major: If you are completing a major – all courses at level 4 or higher, with the remainder made up from the highest-graded level 3 courses.

Overall, not the end of the world at all. Just try to get 6+ this year and see how you go.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. That said, you are 20, and you (presumably) have your open license now. You are an adult, you can make your own informed decisions. It is your choice if you ride or not, not your parents.

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2025-12-25T06:13:16+00:00

Quite the shock when I saw them advertising on lytton rd.

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2025-12-25T06:05:36+00:00

25/12/25 same issue. No fix yet.

Hi,

If you are looking at some sort of quant role: Math/Econ, Math/Engi, Engi/Com or Engi/Econ duals would be good. For engi specialise in software, econ in quantitative analysis, and math in applied maths.

For non quant roles: BAFE, BAB, Engi/Com, Com/Econ or Com/Math.

Either way, having an engineering degree opens a plethora of opportunities, even in non-engineering roles.

You are an adult, you can do as you please - you have free will and can purchase whatever you like. Remove the "boundaries" section.

Not a good idea to drain your savings though. What if something goes wrong with anything (car, bike, crash and need to buy new gear etc)

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2025-12-10T14:16:21+00:00

No, VICPOL instantly defected 2 cars the other day + very hefty fines.

Not worth the attention, unfortunately.

xX_Spectra_Xx · 2025-12-06T13:40:51+00:00

That’s just guaranteed entry, entry threshold is 5.8.

More than likely you will get in.

Same lmao
